Kat regrets sleeping with Michael

As Kat wakes up in Michael's bed, she has regrets about their one-night stand and is also feeling downbeat about her life in general. Over at The Vic, Alfie is clearly worrying about Kat and leaves her messages apologising for what happened last night, which doesn't go down well with Roxy. Alfie annoys Roxy further by heading out to see Kat and check if she is okay, but when he arrives at Joey's place to discover that Kat isn't there, he realises that she must have been with someone else last night. After watching Alfie from afar, Michael informs Kat that Alfie now knows she wasn't at home last night.

Later, Kat arrives at The Vic to pick up Tommy. Roxy remains frosty with her and quizzes Kat on where she was last night, implying that she was with another man. Kat tries to be civil to Alfie, but when Roxy makes another comment, Kat starts to retaliate. Kat announces that she spent last night with Michael, adding that he's a real man who could teach Alfie a thing or two. Alfie is stung by her harsh words.

The Brannings get an unexpected guest

Meanwhile, Abi pops over to see Max and Kirsty to drop off a bill. Kirsty quickly rushes to change but when she returns, Abi realises that Kirsty's skirt is tucked into her knickers. Kirsty is keen to get Max back on good terms with his daughters, and Abi ends up agreeing for the reunited couple to come to dinner tonight. That evening, the atmosphere is tense at the Branning meal but Kirsty breaks the ice by mentioning the knicker incident from earlier. It works as everyone laughs, but the mood changes when Tanya walks through the door unexpectedly…

Elsewhere, Masood looks forward to his date with Carol, but there's a spanner in the works when Ayesha returns to Albert Square unexpectedly.
